"So? Do you like it?" Pei Yiting leaned in and whispered in Xia Yueqing's ear when he saw her looking closely.
The jade necklace was entirely emerald green, with a glossy texture, featuring a simple chain design. The jade bead in the center was said to be an extremely rare Imperial Green type from an old pit, a glass variety, and was clearly worth a lot.
Beautiful things, of course, Xia Yueqing liked them naturally.
But just thinking about how millions could be spent just on one necklace, Xia Yueqing's liking for it diminished a bit.
"It's okay."
"So you do like it then?" Pei Yiting's voice revealed amusement.
"I can't exactly say I dislike it, can I? But this kind of thing is all style and no substance."
Xia Yueqing touched her neck, worried that one day it might get snatched away.
"Liking it is what gives it value. Since you like it, it isn't just superficial."
With that, Pei Yiting picked up his paddle and raised it again.
"This gentleman offers thirteen million."
